More clouds from the latest 12.2 alpha.

It's planned to be addressed this year, as per the public roadmap. I just misremembered it as 12.3, sorry about that.

No sir, no need to apologize, especially after these atmo tweaks you've been making. I'm just alluding to some of the rabid XP fans perusing these forums who will howl at the moon for days...nay...months if you somehow fail to keep your 'legally-binding' 'promise' and we still see derpy clouds in 12.3.

Friendly reminder: WHITELIST AVSIM IN YOUR AD-BLOCKER. Especially if you're on a modern CPU that can run a flight simulator well. These web servers aren't free...

  • In the meantime I created my new png background. I think this is more appropriate for 12.2.

  • Yeah unfortunately cloud formations are still the same as before right now, in other words, pretty hit or miss - this update was to improve the lighting and I believe we managed to do a good job at th

  • No words needed 🤩

Meanwhile I am very, very, very happy to see LR instead put the effort into the cloud system,

I have been waiting very, very, very long ever since xplane 12:

"Alpha testing began on December 3, 2021. Early Access began on September 5, 2022."

and we are still seeing strange cloud bugs:

Austin has been desperately searching for the cloud bugs, day and night:

Yeah, but, are you complaining they are too strange, or not strange enough?:

The one you posted just looks like its missing squall, they get crazier than anything I've seen so xP so far.

I too sometimes get the minecraft clouds. I am pinning my hopes on XP12, as I think 2024 will go the way of flight. Plus I think XP12 atmosphere and ligting is way better. Let's hope 12.3 fixes the clouds and they start work on motion vectors.

Me thinks that too 😞

and anyway, Xp12 has started offering me a better experience since the latest updates, honestly, specially the "plastic" feel of **all** aircraft if FS 2024 ...

Even default Xp12 ATC is better than what I get with BATC or FSHUD in MSFS, and way way better than default funky MSFS ATC...

minecraft clouds are a separate issue.

That one in your screenshot looks like a fairly normal cloud that is converting itself into rain, you just wouldn't see it from below because of the squall. the light area in this photo between the squall and the cloud

Likewise, but even that is streets ahead of 2024 iteration.

 If anyone in the MSFS forums see that, they'll tear you apart.

And how about weather injectors like ASXP12? I didn't test 12.20b with that. Does ASXP12 sends, so to speak, less noisy information for avoiding Minecraft clouds or is also generating those?

They can try. One of the main flaws here at Avsim is people’s inability to handle the opinions of others. Especially when the opinion has some substance, now that’s when the feathers are really ruffled.

Oh I know.  I read the MSFS forums as much as I read the XP forums.  Countless smh moments.

now since we are back again at MSFS bashing in the xplane forum:

how about a  GPS that is "way way better than the default funky xplane GPS". anything planned tentatively for xp13?

Is that like the bashing of the clouds you do?  Or is it "discussing" an opinion?  Is he wrong?

I'm reminded of tit for tat when I was in primary school.

I was not talking about flightsims but about the technology. There hasn’t been any other flightsim using it because, again, it’s not really meant to be used in such a highly dynamic environnement.

For flight simulation it is in its infancy stage and going through its growing pains just like any other piece of software during an integration process! It is your opinion that it is not meant for our dynamic setups, unless you have some documentation to prove your view point.

Doesn't Google have a flying map mode?
